This Prof states that it takes 140 gallons of fossil fuel at a cost of $347 to harvest one acre of corn. I don't know where this farm is, but they better get out of the business right away. There is just no way these figures could be true. I have a feeling this Prof fudged the figures just to dump on the ethanol idea.

I have a feeling you are right. I also have a feeling the he thinks that farmers are so stupid, and American industry so regressive, that farm vehicles and equipment would continue running on fossil fuels long after everything else was converted to some form of ethanol use.

No wonder our Nation is starting to fall behind the rest of the world with people like this teaching our young, and supposedly educated people not seeing through him.
